Point To Ponder

God is no respecter of person and He is a respecter of person; it just depends upon the context. God has a people among both Jew and Gentile and no respecter of persons there. God had respect unto Abel and his offering but unto Abel he had not respect nor his offering. God also had respect unto Israel.

Verse Of The Week-02-12-2018
